Scott walked into the locker room. I sit down on the bench at their lockers. Stiles walks past the lockers then walks back. Scott is leaned against the lockers. "Did you apologize to Allison?" Stiles asked "Yeah." Scott said "Is she giving you a second chance or -" Stiles said "Yeah." Scott said "Yeah! All right. So everything's good." Stiles starts to walk away. "No." Scott said and Stiles quickly turns back around. "No?" Stiles asked "Remember - The hunters. Her dad is one of 'em." Scott said

"Her dad?" Stiles asked "Shot me -" Scott said "Allison's father?" Stiles asked "With a crossbow." Scott said "Allison's father -" Stiles said "Yes! Her father! Oh, my God." Scott said and I jump up in front of Scott. "No, Scott. Snap back. You okay? Hey, all right? He didn't recognize you, right?" I ask "No. N - no. I don't think so." Scott said "Does she know about him?" Stiles asked "Oh, yeah. I don't know. What if she does? This is gonna kill me, man." Scott said "Okay, just focus on lacrosse. Okay, here, Scott. Take this. Take this, and focus on lacrosse for now, okay? That's all you gotta do, yeah?" I ask ask Stiles is handing him his gear. "Lacrosse." Scott said "Here we go!" Stiles said as we walk onto the field.

"Let's go! One - on - one from up top! Jackson - Take a long stick today. Atta boy. That's how you do it! Greenberg, take a lap. Let's go. Faster, Greenberg!" It's Scott's turn. "Let's go. McCall, what are you waiting for? Let's go." Scott starts running but Jackson knocks him down. "Hey, McCall. Hey, McCall!" Coach yelled and Jackson walks over to Scott. "You sure you still want to be first line, McCall?" Jackson asked causing me to growl from where I was standing in line.

"My - my grandmother can move faster than that. And she's dead. You think you can move faster than the - lifeless corpse of my dead grandmother?" Coach asked "Yes, coach." Scott said "I can't hear you." Coach said "Yes, coach." Scott said and I noticed the slight change in his voice. "Scott control it." I say quietly. "Then do it again. McCall's gonna do it again! McCall's gonna do it again! Let's go!" Coach yelled and Scott goes again but this time he knocks Jackson down hitting his shoulder. Scott falls to the ground causing me to run over to him.

I drop my stuff and drop down beside him. "Scott? Scott, you okay?" I ask "I can't control it, Hayley, Stiles. It's happening." Scott said "What? Right here? Now?" Stiles asked and I help Scott up. "Come on, get up. Come on. Come on." I say "Come on, here we go. There. That's it. You okay? Scott, you okay?" Stiles asked once we get Scott into the locker room. Scott turns and looks at us and I see him half turned. "Get away from me!" Scott yelled and Stiles runs trying to drag me with him but I stay put and Scott turned towards me. I quickly change with my eyes glowing and my claws out growling at him. "Scott you need to calm down. Find something to anchor you." I say but he quickly turns around and jumps to the rafters following Stiles. "Stiles come over here." I say

Stiles bumps into the fire extinguishers and sprays Scott with it. "Stiles, Hayley- What happened?" Scott asked "You tried to kill us. It's like I told you before. It's the anger. It's your pulse rising. It's a trigger." Stiles said "But that's lacrosse. It's a pretty violent game, if you hadn't noticed." Scott said "Well, it's gonna be a lot more violent if you end up killing someone on the field. You can't play Saturday. You're gonna have to get out of the game." I say "I'm first line and Hayley why can you still play the game?" Scott asked "Not anymore and I was taught to control it." I say

Mom walked in Scott's room where he and I was sitting talking. "Hey. Late shift again for me. But I am taking Saturday off to see y'all's first game." Mom said "Oh, mom, you can't." Scott said "Oh, no, I can and I will. Come on, one shift isn't gonna break us. Completely. Hey, what's wrong with your eyes?" Scott looks at me with his eyes wide. "You look like you haven't slept in days." Scott said "Oh, uh, it's nothing. I'm just - stressed." Scott said "Just stress? Nothin' else?" Mom asked "Homework." Scott said "I mean, it's not like you're on drugs or anything, right?" Mom asked "Right now?" Scott asked "Right now? I'm sorry, what do you mean "right now"? Have either of you ever taken drugs?" Mom asked "Have you?" Scott asked and I smack him on the shoulder. "Both of you get some sleep." Mom said and she walked out of the room.

Scott answers the call from Stiles and I sit beside him looking at the computer screen. Stiles is holding a fake gun to the computer screen. "What'd you find out?" Scott asked "Well, it's bad. Jackson's got a separated shoulder." I say "Because of me?" Scott asked "Because he's a tool." Stiles said "But is he gonna play?" Scott asked looking at me. "Well, they don't know yet. Now they're just counting on you and Hayley for Saturday." Stiles said before I could answer. "But he most likely will. Lydia will make him get one of those shots." I say and I see Stiles getting closer to the screen. That's when I feel the presence in the room behind us. Stiles starts typing "It looks like." It starts slowly loading.

"What? It looks like what? Come on. Damn it." Scott said "Someone's behind you two." Stiles types. "What?" Scott asked and that's when Derek yanks Scott up and shoves him against the wall. "I saw you on the field." Derek said "Derek come on." I say "Wha - what are you talking about?" Scott asked "You shifted in front of them! If they find out what you are, they find out about me. About all of us. And then it's not just the hunters after us, it's everyone." Derek said "But - They didn't see anything! I..s - swear, I -" Scott said before Derek cut him off. "And they won't! Because if you even try to play in that game on Saturday - I'm gonna kill you myself." Derek said

"What do you mean, you can't play the game tomorrow night?" Coach asked Scott as we walk in Coach's office. "I mean - I can't play the game tomorrow night." Scott said "You can't wait to play the game tomorrow night." Coach said "No, coach, I can't play the game tomorrow night." Scott said "I'm not following." Coach said "I'm having some personal issues." Scott said "Is it a girl?" Coach asked "No." Scott said "Is it a guy? You know, our goalie Danny is gay." Coach said "Yeah, I know, coach, but that's not it." Scott said "You don't think Danny's a - good - lookin' guy?" Coach asked "I - think he's good - looking. I - but I - I like girls. And that's not it, anyway! I - I -" Scott said "What, is it drugs? Are you doing meth? Because I had a brother that was addicted to meth. You should have seen what it did to his teeth - They were all cracked and rotted. It was - it was disgusting." Coach said and I made a face.

"My - God. What happened to him?" I ask "He got veneers. Is - is that what this is about? Are you afraid of getting hurt, McCall?" Coach asked "No - I'm - Having some issues dealing with aggression." Scott said "Well, here's the good news. That's why you play lacrosse. Problem solved." Coach said "Coach, I can't play the game tomorrow night." Scott said "Listen, McCall, part of playing first line is taking on the responsibility of being first line. Now, if you can't shoulder that responsibility, then you're back on the bench until you're ready." Coach said "If I don't play the game, you're taking me off first line?" Scott asked "McCall, play the game." Coach said

Lydia and Scott was at the board doing math problems. "Why is there a rumor going around that you're not playing tomorrow?" Lydia asked "'Cause I'm sort of not." Scott said "I think you sort of are. Especially when you brutally injure my boyfriend by ramming into him." Lydia said "He brutally injured himself ramming into me." Scott said "Jackson's gonna play tomorrow. But he's not gonna be at his peak, and I prefer my boyfriend at peak performance." Lydia said "Okay." Scott said and I laugh quietly. "I date the captain of the winning lacrosse team, and if they start off the season losing, I date the captain of the losing lacrosse team. I don't date losers." Lydia said

"Losing one game isn't gonna kill anyone. In fact, it might even save someone." Scott said "Fine! Don't play. We'll probably win anyway. Then we'll go out after, like we were planning - and I'll introduce Allison to all the hot players on the team. And Scott McCall can stay home, surfing the net for porn." Lydia said walking away. "Mr. McCall, you're not even close to solving your problem." The teacher said "Tell me about it." Scott said

Stiles drags me over to Scott. "Hey, come here." Stiles said "What?" Scott asked as we stand at the wall. "Come here. Tell me what they're saying. Can you hear 'em?" Stiles said and I listen to what they're staying. "I want everyone under the age of 18 to be in their home by 9:30 p.m. We'd like to institute the curfew, effective immediately." Sheriff said "Look, we don't -" The principal said before I looked at them. "Curfew because of the body." I say "Unbelievable. My dad's out looking for a rabid animal, while the jerk - off who actually killed the girl is just hangin' out, doing whatever he wants." Stiles said "Well, you can't exactly tell your dad the truth about Derek." Scott said "Derek didn't do it." I say but go ignored. "I can do something." Stiles said "Like what?" Scott asked "Find the other half of the body." Stiles said "Are you kidding?" I ask

Derek stops moving and I look at him from where I'm sitting on his couch. He points outside and I hear someone walk towards us. "Derek! Derek! Stay away from her! She doesn't know anything!" Scott shouts and we walk outside and Scott looks at me confused and angry. "Yeah? What if she does? You think your little buddy Stiles can just google werewolves, and now you got all the answers, is that it? You don't get it yet, Scott, but I'm looking out for you. Think about what could happen. You're out on the field. The aggression takes over. And you shift in front of everyone. Your mom, all your friends. And when they see you - everything falls apart." Derek said as he ripped Scott's lacrosse net with his claws.

Stiles busts into Scott's room and I listen from my room. "What did you find? How did you find it? Where did you find it? And, yes, I've had a lot of Adderall, so -" Stiles said "I found something at Derek Hale's minus the fact that Hayley was there." Scott said "Are you kidding? What?" Stiles asked "There's something buried there - I could smell blood." Scott said "That's awesome! I mean, that's terrible. Whose blood?" Stiles asked "I don't know. But when we do, your dad nails Derek for the murder. And then you help me figure out how to play lacrosse without changing. Because there's no way I'm not playing that game. Hayley!" Scott yelled and I get up and walk to his door. "No need to shout Scotty, I heard you." I say

We walk in the hospital looking for the morgue.
"Hey." Stiles said once he found it. "Okay." Scott said and he goes towards the door. "Good luck, I guess." Stiles said and we walk over to the waiting room. I see Lydia sitting in a chair and that's when I remember that Jackson was coming to get that shot like I figured Lydia would make him. Stiles was talking to Lydia even though she wasn't paying him any attention. Stiles soon sit down beside me and was reading something. Scott soon came back out and grabbed whatever Stiles was reading.

"Holy god!" Stiles said causing me to laugh. "The scent was the same." Scott said "You sure?" Stiles asked "Yes." Scott said "So he did bury the other half of the body on his property?" Stiles asked "Which means we have proof he killed the girl." Scott said "I say we use it." Stiles said "How?" Scott asked "Tell me something first. Are you doing this because you want to stop Derek, or because you want to play in the game, and he said you couldn't?" Stiles asked "There are bite marks on the legs, Stiles - bite marks." Scott said "Okay. Then we're gonna need a shovel." Stiles said

Scott and Stiles were digging trying to find Laura's body when Scott stopped. "Wait, something's different." Scott said "Different how?" Stiles asked "I don't know. Let's just get this over with. This is taking way too long." Scott said "Just keep going." Stiles said "What if he comes back?" Scott asked "Then we get the hell out of here." Stiles said "What if he catches us?" Scott asked "I have a plan for that." Stiles said "Which is?" I ask "Scott runs one way. I run the other. Then you run a different way. Whoever he catches first, too bad." Stiles said and I roll my eyes. "I hate that plan." Scott said and Scott hit something.

"Oh, stop, stop, stop." Stiles said and they drop down trying to untie it. "Hurry." Scott said "I'm trying. Did he have to tie the thing in, like, 900 knots?" Stiles asked "I'll do it." I say and I bring my claws out and I cut the knot with my claws. I fall backwards when I see what's was inside. It was the head of Laura's wolf form. "What the hell is that?" Stiles asked "It's a wolf." I say "Yeah, I can see that. Scott, I thought you said you smelled blood, as in human blood." Stiles said "I told you something was different." Scott said "This doesn't make sense." Stiles said "We gotta get out of here." Scott said "Yeah. Okay, help me cover this up." Stiles said and he looked up behind me and stopped. I turned and looked behind me to see wolfsbane.

"What's wrong?" Scott asked "You see that flower?" Stiles asked pointing at it. "What about it?" Scott asked "I think it's wolfsbane." Stiles said "What's that?" Scott asked and I face palm. "Seriously?" I ask "Uh - Haven't you ever seen the Wolf Man?" Stiles asked "No." Scott said "Lon Chaney Jr.? Claude Rains? The original, classic werewolf movie?" Stiles asked "No! What?" Scott asked "You are so unprepared for this." Stiles said and he gets up and starts pulling the wolfsbane and I notice it's unraveling in a spiral. The head of Lauras wolf form changes into the top half of her human form and I move backwards with tears in my eyes. "Stiles." Scott said and Stiles walks over to him. "Holy-"Stiles said once he saw the body.

The cops were walking Derek who was in handcuffs to the police car. Scott was standing outside the jeep but I was sitting in the backseat. Stiles starts walking towards the police car. "No. Oh, God." Scott said turning away from the cop car. "Okay, just so you know, I'm not afraid of you. Okay, maybe I am. Doesn't matter. I just wanna know something. The girl you killed - she was a werewolf. She was a different kind, wasn't she? I mean, she could turn herself into an actual wolf, and I know Scott and Hayley can't do that. Is that why you killed her?" Stiles asked "Why are you so worried about me when it's your friend who's the problem? When he shifts on the field, what do you think they're gonna do. Just keep cheering him on? I can't stop him from playing, but you can. And, trust me - you want to. Good thing I taught Hayley how to control it." Derek said and Stiles is suddenly pulled out of the car by his dad.

"There. Stand. What the hell do you think you're doing?" Sheriff asked "I'm just trying to help." Stiles said "Okay, well, how 'bout you help me understand exactly how you came across this." Sheriff said "We were looking for Scott's inhaler." Stiles said "Which he dropped when?" Sheriff asked "The other night." Stiles said "The other night when you were out here looking for the first half of the body." Sheriff said "Yes." Stiles said "The night that you told me you were alone and Scott and Stella was at home." Sheriff said "Yes. No. Oh, crap." Stiles said "So you lied to me." Sheriff said "That depends on how you define lying." Stiles said "Well, I define it as not telling the truth. How do you define it?" Sheriff asked "Mm, reclining your body in a horizontal position?" Stiles asked "Get the hell out of here." Sheriff said "Absolutely." Stiles said

Scott was looking up wolfsbane. "I can't find anything about wolfsbane being used for burial." Scott said "Just keep looking. Maybe it's like a ritual or something, like maybe they bury you as a wolf. Or maybe it's like a special skill, you know? Like something you have to learn." Stiles said "I'll put it on my to - do list, right underneath figuring out how the hell I'm playing this game tonight." Scott said "Maybe it's different for girl werewolves." Stiles said and he glanced back at me and suddenly I felt really angry. I growled at him flashing my werewolf eyes at him. "Okay! Stop it!" Scott yelled "Stop what?" Stiles asked "Stop saying "werewolves"! Stop enjoying this so much." Scott said

"Are you okay?" Stiles asked "No! No, I'm not. I'm so far from being okay." Scott said "You know, you're gonna have to accept this, Scott, sooner or later." Stiles said "I can't." Scott said "Well, you're gonna have to." Stiles said "No! We can't breathe. Aah! Ah, pull over!" I yell and Scott puts his hand on the roof of the jeep. "Why? What's happening?" Stiles asked and I leant in between the seats and looked in the bag seeing the wolfsbane which caused me to growl. "You fucking kept it?" I ask growling with my eyes glowing. "What was I supposed to do with it?" Stiles asked sounding scared. "Stop the car!" Scott yelled and Stiles stopped getting out throwing the bag. But Scott left the car. "Okay - Okay. We're good, you can - Scott? Scott? Hayley wheres Scott?" Stiles asked and I shrugged.

"You gonna try to convince me not to play?" Scott asked while we were in the boys locker room since Coach lets me in here. "I just hope you know what you're doing." I say "If I don't play, I lose first line and Allison." Scott said and I rolled my eyes. "Allison's not going anywhere. And it's one game that you really don't need to play." Stiles said "I wanna play! I wanna be on the team. I wanna go out with Allison. I want a semi - freaking normal life. Do you get that?" Scott asked "I get it. Just try not to worry too much while you're out there, okay? Or get too angry." Stiles said "I got it." Scott said "Or stressed." Stiles said "I got it." Scott said "Don't think about Allison being in the stands. Or that her father's trying to kill you. Or that Derek's trying to kill you. Or the girl he killed. Or that you might kill someone. If a hunter doesn't kill you first - I'm sorry. I'll stop. Good luck." Stiles said once Scott and I gave him a look.

Lydia grabs Scott pulling him close to her. "Scott - I just want you to remember one thing for tonight." Lydia said "Uh - Winning isn't everything?" Scott asked "Nobody likes a loser." Lydia said and I sit beside of Jackson on the bleachers. "How's the shoulder?" Coach asked "It's fine." Jackson said "You feel any pain?" Coach asked "No." Jackson said "What if I gave it a big ol' punch? Would you - would you feel any pain then?" Coach asked "Maybe." Jackson said "Listen, just go out there. Just give it your best. If you feel any pain, just -" Coach said before Jackson spoke up. "Just..keep - playing?" Jackson asked "That's my boy." Coach said "Please let this be okay. Please." Scott said and the game begun.

"Down!" Referee exclaimed "Please." Scott mumbles "Set!" Referee said "That's it, Jackson! Get fired up! Fired up!" Coach exclaimed and I see Lydia and Allison holding a sign up for Jackson. "Brutal. Oh, this is not gonna be good." Stiles said "Only to me." Jackson said "But what if he's open?" Danny asked "Who's the captain, you or me?" Jackson asked "Jackson, come on, dude, I just wanna win." Danny said "We will win." Jackson said "But -" Danny goes to say but Jackson cuts him off. "What did I say? Huh? What - did - I say?" Jackson asked "Don't pass to Scott." Danny said and I growl. "You okay, kid?" Ref asked Scott causing me to run over to him. "Scott look at me." Scott looks at me. "Ignore them. Just focus on the game and staying calm." I say and he nods.

"Which one is Scott again?" Argent asked causing me to freeze. "Number 11. Otherwise known as the only one who hasn't caught a single ball this entire game." Lydia said causing me to roll my eyes. "I hope he's okay." Allison said "I hope we're okay. We need to win this. Allison. A little help here?" Lydia asked and they hold up another sign. "Scott stay focused." I say once I see the sign and him look over at it. "Down! Set!" Ref said and Scott scored. "Yes! That's what I - What? What?" Stiles asked "Male McCall! Pass to Male McCall!" Coach exclaimed "Set!" Ref said and I see the opposing team give Scott the ball.

"Did the opposing team just deliberately pass us the ball?" Coach asked "Yes, I believe so, Coach." Stiles said "Interesting. Goal! Yes! Yes! There you go. Wha - Way to go, McCall! What? The ball's in the net." Coach said "Ball's in the net." Stiles said "That's the goal of the game, is get the ball in the net! We got it." Coach said "Down!" Ref said and I see a guy from the other team go over to Jackson. "Hey, what the hell's up with your teammate, man? What's he on?" Guy asked "I don't know. Yet." Jackson said "Set!" Ref said and I notice Scott start having trouble. "No, no. Scott, no, no." Stiles said "Come on, come on." Mom said "Focus on Allison's voice Scott. Listen for her in the crowd. You need to calm yourself down." I say "You can do it, Scott. You can do it, Scott." Allison said and Scott calmed down enough to score. "Yes! Ha! Oh, my God." Stiles said "Thank god." I say

Stiles and I walked in the locker room looking for Scott. Allison and Scott kissed. "I gotta get back to my dad. Hi, Stiles, Hayley." Allison said "Hey, yeah." Stiles said and I waved. "I kissed her." Scott said "I saw." Stiles said "She kissed me." Scott said "Saw that too." I say "That's pretty good, huh?" Stiles asked "I - I - I don't know how, but I controlled it. I pulled it back. Maybe I can do this. Maybe it's not that bad." Scott said "Yeah, heh. We'll talk later, then." Stiles said "What?" Scott asked "The, uh, medical examiner looked at the other half of the body we found." Stiles said "And -" Scott said "Well, I'll keep it simple. Medical examiner determines killer of girl to be animal, not human. Derek's human, not animal. Derek not killer. Derek let out of jail." Stiles said "Thank god." I mumble. "Are you kidding?" Scott asked "No, and here's a bigger kick in the ass. My dad I.D.'d the dead girl. Both halves. Her name was Laura Hale." Stiles said "Hale?" Scott asked and I sit down on a bench.

"Derek's sister." I say "How do you know that?" Scott asked "And why have you been so close to him?" Stiles asked "Do either of you remember my friend Cora that suddenly never came around again?" I ask looking down. "Yeah, I remember her. She was always over at the house or you were always over at hers. What happened to her?" Scott asked "Her name was Cora Hale. Derek's younger sister. I met Coras family and become really close to Derek and Laura. Cora didn't go to school the day of the fire and while Derek and Laura was at school the fire happened. The only survivor of the fire besides Derek and Laura was their Uncle Peter. Cora died in the fire." I say as a tear rolls down my cheek.
